Footnote 7:

See Austin’s _Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island_, a work of great value and interest.

Footnote 8:

See “The Stem of the Heffernan Family,” in O’Hart’s _Irish Pedigrees_. The clan is a very old one in Irish history and has produced many people of note.

Footnote 9:

The O’Kellys, from which come the names Kelly and Kelley, were of great eminence in Ireland. An O’Kelly commanded the Connaught division at the battle of Clontarf, A. D. 1014. O’Kellys were princes of Hy-Maine, Ireland, down to the reign of the English Queen Elizabeth.

Footnote 17:

The Spencer name is found in Ireland for many generations, and appears under both spellings. Bearers of the name were among the “Forfeiting Proprietors” and other Irish who, during the Cromwellian regime, were ordered to migrate “To Hell or to Connaught.”

Many descendants of English settlers in Ireland became thoroughly Irish, some dropped their English surnames and assumed Irish ones, wedded Irish wives, were rated as “Papists,” and dressed “after ye Irishe fashion.”
